Hello,
It is not related to Phentermine and may be due to conditions like strep throat, arising due to bacterial infection.
As a first line management, you can try antibiotics like Amoxiclav for symptomatic relief.
Do warm saline gargles also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
